CURTAIN AND SHADE HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 788,367, dated April 25, 1905.

T0 @ZZ 71171/0797/ it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN S. MOORE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chester, in the county of Hancock and State of 1V est Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain and Shade Holders; and l do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to window-fixtures, and more particularly to combined shadeand curtain holders, and has for its object to provide a device of this nature which may be quickly attached to and detached from the frame of a window without marring the latter and which will be so constructed that it may be manufactured at a low figure.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description, and it will be understood that modifications of the specific construction shown may be made and any suitable materials may be used without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawings forming a portion of this specification, and in which like characters of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, Figure 1 is a view of a window provided with the present invention. Eig. 2 is a side elevation of one of the fasteners removed from the window. Fig. 3 is a rear sectional view. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the device removed from a window.

Referring now to the drawings, the present invention comprises a metal Vplate bent to form spaced legs a and B and a connectingbight c'. The leg B is somewhat longer than the leg a, and both have their extremities turned inwardly to form frame-engaging lips. The two legs have alining perforations 14 therein, in which there is engaged a clamp- Application filed December 8, 1904. Serial No. 235,979.

4longitudinally of its slot. A nut 15 is engaged with the threaded end of the bolt 15 and is operable to move'the free ends of the legs a and B toward each other and to clamp the plate c against the leg a to prevent movement of the plate. In use the legs are disposed at either side Aof the facing-piece of a window, as shown in Eig. 1, and the nut 15 is operated to clamp the legs against the facingpiece, thus holding the device in position.

The plate c carries an arm f at its forward end, which is turned laterally to extend parl allel to the portion c', and centrally of this portion the arm is turned to extend vertically, as shown at f, the upper portion of this portion being' bent downwardly to form a hook g for the reception of a curtain-pole. Engaged with the bolt 15 between the legs t and B there is a depending roller-supporting member 17, having' a passage 18, in which the bolt is pivotally engaged, and the member has a set-screw 19 engaged therein for operation to impinge against the bolt to hold the member against movement thereupon. The member 17 has a recess 20 therein for the reception of a roller-trunnion, as shown.

It will be readily understood that one of the devices just described is disposed at each side of a window and that the trunnions of a shade-roller are engaged in the recesses 20 of the members 17, the hooks g having a curtainpole engaged therewith. By reason of the fact that the plate c may be slid longitudinally the curtain-pole and curtain may be moved toward and away from the window.

That is claimed is- 1. A shade and curtain holder comprising spaced arms having alining openings formed therethrough, a clamping-bolt engaged in the openings and extendingoutwardly beyond one of the arms, a slotted plate disposed with its slot engaged by the outwardly-extending portion of the bolt, a nut engaged with said outwardly-extending portion of the bolt beyond the slotted plate and adapted for operation to clamp the plate against the adjacent armand to move the arms toward each other, a shadesupporting member engaged with the clamping-bolt, and a pole-supporting arm connected with the slotted plate.
